Anyone But You

Rent & Buy
After an amazing first date, Bea and Ben’s fiery attraction turns ice cold — until they find themselves unexpectedly reunited at a destination wedding in Australia. So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.
What critics thought
Critics landed squarely in mixed territory, with the central debate being whether Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell generate enough genuine chemistry to carry a thin script — many felt they didn't. Detractors found the leads more decorative than magnetic, while warmer notices credited the film's breezy escapism and the stars' watchability for making the formulaic material go down easy enough.
“neither screen chemistry nor laughs can be manufactured, especially not with the kind of pedestrian writing in Will Gluck's Anyone But You, which does nothing to reanimate the moribund studio rom-com”
David Rooney·The Hollywood Reporter
“Director Will Gluck... can't turn his leads into more than swimwear models, centring a romcom around them is like watching a kid force two dolls to kiss”
Benjamin Lee·The Guardian
“Watch the movie; there's no way these guys hooked up. Whatever sparkling chemistry we thought we saw in the film's immaculate PR drip-feed, it's barely there in the final product”
Robert Moran·The Age
“No one goes into a movie like Anyone But You for realism, nor should they. The film is made as fun escapism, and it succeeds at that.”
